How do you break in shoes without wearing them?

4. When I was in college, I used to "let" my roommate wear them for a few days

Let HER get the blisters :)

5. get someone with slightly larger feet to wear them...

...that always works.

6. How not to have to break them in.

Buy soft, well fitting comfy shoes that have FLEXIBLE soles. Either decent sneakers or Italian shoes will work, although Italian shoes are not cheap. I have really narrow feet so the Italian ones work better. They come in my size.

If you have to break them in and get blisters you have a problem. Your feet bend when you walk, with every step. So why should you wear BOARDS???
